1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”
He said, “Here I am.”

2 He said, “Now take your son, your only
son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the
land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt
offering on one of the mountains which I
will tell you of.”

3 Abraham rose early in the morning,
and saddled his donkey; and took two of
his young men with him, and Isaac his son.
He split the wood for the burnt offering,
and rose up, and wentto the place of which
God had told him.

4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his
eyes, and saw the place far off.

5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay
here with the donkey. The boy and I will
go over there. We will worship, and come
back to you.”

6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt
offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He
took in his hand the fire and the knife.
They both went together.

7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and
said, “My father?”
He said, “Here I am, my son.”
He said, “Here is the fire and the wood,
but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.”
So they both went together.

9 They came to the place which God had
told him of. Abraham built the altar there,
and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and
took the knife to kill his son.

11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out ofthe
sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
He said, “Here I am.”

12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the
boy or do anything to him. For now I
know that you fear God, since you have
not withheld your son, your only son,from
me.”
